Stakeout surfaces

SURFACES&VOLUME

  • This procedure allows you to determine the design elevation of a three-dimensional surface loaded into the current job directly in the field.

  • For each measured position, the software compares the current elevation with the elevation interpolated from the selected surface and calculates the elevation difference between the two values.

  • Surface stakeout can be used for:

    • Construction Stakeout: to guide field operations and verify that points are positioned at the elevations defined by the design surface.

    • Quality Control: to compare the constructed surface with the design model and verify compliance with project specifications.

  • By continuously comparing measured elevations with the design surface, the operator can quickly identify areas that require additional excavation, fill, or adjustment.

  • From Stakeout page select Surfaces.

  • Select the surface to stakeout from the list of available surfaces in the project.

  • The side panel visualizes in real time the difference of elevation between current position and the elevation interpolated on the surface.
